The USMC Portsmouth team was composed of Marine Corps personnel working at the Portsmouth Naval Prison in nearby Kittery, Maine.[4] While contemporary news reports and The Granite yearbook described it as a "practice game",[1][4] the result is listed by College Football Data Warehouse and the Wildcats' media guide.[12]

The 1922 game remains the only time that the New Hampshire and Cornell football programs have met.[13] New Hampshire and Massachusetts (commonly known as UMass since the late 1940s) next met in 1952.[14] New Hampshire and Army next met in 2008.[15]

Notes
  1. The school did not adopt the Wildcats nickname until February 1926;[2] before then, they were generally referred to as "the blue and white".
  2. The school was often referred to as New Hampshire College or New Hampshire State College in newspapers of the era.
  3. This was Cowell's 8th year and 7th season as head coach, as the school did not field a varsity team in 1918 due to World War I.
  4. Memorial Field remains in use by the New Hampshire women's field hockey team.[3]
